Stimulation of sporulation of Clostridium perfringens by papaverine
Experientia
|February 15, 1982
Abstract:
Papaverine induced sporulation in Clostridium perfringens, strains FD-1 and PS52; growth was markedly slowed under these conditions. Papaverine induced sporulation in the presence of glucose, a sporulation repressor, although increasing glucose concentrations overcame the papaverine effect. Papaverine induced sporulation of strain FD-1 more effectively than did theophylline.
